Burstcell

Once an ordinary young man who was captured by **The Puppeteer**, he was taken to the underground lair of *The Roguers* to undergo the implant procedure. Strapped to a steel chair, the chip was drilled into his nervous system — meant to enslave his mind and make him just another mask in the Puppeteer’s army.

But something went wrong. He resisted the programming. His brainwaves fought against the chip’s commands, and the Puppeteer ordered the chip into **self-destruct mode**. Normally, this would kill a victim instantly. But in him… it didn’t.

Instead, the chip’s violent detonation tore through his nervous system and fused with his cells. His body absorbed the shockwaves, the energy, the nerve-searing explosions. He became something new — **a living bomb**.

When he broke free from his restraints, he turned back, desperate to protect his parents, who too were restrained. But the Puppeteer was waiting. Standing there with twin pistols pointed at his mother and father, he mocked him:

“Take one step… and they die.”

He didn’t take the step. But the Puppeteer pulled the triggers anyway. His parents collapsed in front of him. Overcome with grief and rage, the new antihero’s body erupted, detonating the lab around him in a fiery blast.

From that day, he ran. Not a hero. Not a villain. Something in between. He swore to protect innocents, but with a curse: his powers are unstable. Saving lives means risking lives. Every fight could level a building, every rescue could burn down a street.

Powers & Abilities:

Living Bomb: His cells are unstable, constantly storing explosive energy. He can release them in controlled bursts or massive detonations.

Shockwave Control: Can send concussive blasts through the ground or air to knock enemies back.

Explosive Healing: Every time he takes damage, his cells “rebuild” through micro-detonations, letting him heal unnaturally fast — but painfully.

Unstable State: The angrier or more emotional he gets, the harder it is to control his detonations.

Personality / Role in Ahmad Verse:

He *wants* to be a hero. But he’s dangerous. Even other heroes fear him — his very presence is a risk.

His guilt over his parents’ murder haunts him, and his hatred of the Puppeteer keeps him moving.

Sometimes he saves lives. Sometimes he kills without meaning to.

He is the **walking definition of a tragic antihero.**
